In linguistic typology, a null-subject language is a language whose grammar permits an
independent clause to lack an explicit subject; such a clause is then said to have a null subject . As
it is in one of my mother tongues - the Turkish language. Following this description, this series
derives from a 'null subject' an anonymous figure, being dissolved and rephotographed in different
spaces and multiple times. The figure ceases to be the center of the image, and starts acting as a
tool to depict fragmentation and disruption. In this way the photograph as an object comes forward
and opens new layers of representation into the image plane. Superimposition of photographs and
the repetitive pattern of ‘spaces within spaces’ suggest a new area between two and three
dimensional representations and invites the viewer to question and position the main subject.
